We live in a world of the good, the bad and the ugly. We tend to focus on the bad and the ugly because they are amplified in the newspapers and on TV and social media.
The good is out there — it’s sometimes hard to find, but it’s there.
For example, the lady at Subway who gave me a bunch of coupons to use. I hope she’s reading this. The guy with an armful of purchases at 7-Eleven, who was so appreciative of me for holding the door open for him as he exited. The driver waving me to go as I was leaving a busy shopping center.
If you’re looking for the bad and the ugly, you can find them very easily these days. It tends to be overlooked, or taken for granted, but there is good out there, and there are good people in this world, too.
